Why is addressing so important? Every Second Counts in Emergency Response! Many people, including those in public safety, view enhanced 9-1-1 as a great emergency response tool; however, without accurate and consistent address information it can not always be counted on to help speedup emergency response. Of the total parts that comprise the enhanced 9-1-1, addressing can be considered one of the most vital.
Addressing History Some two years ago the Hernando County Florida Property Appraiser s office assembled a group of GIS stakeholders of county, municipal and state government offices and agencies. The purpose was to advise the attendees of the Property Appraiser's base map and to discuss the future of the GIS system in Hernando County. The greatest common factor affecting everyone was the county s addressing system. The current addressing system had not kept pace with technological advances and was not a centrally maintained system allowing departments and agencies to access the system electronically.
Addressing History cont. The previous addressing department used hardcopy maps as a source for addressing the county. A translucent device similar to a ruler, called a fly tape, was used to calculate address numbers. The fly tape had predetermined distances to assign addresses. This poses a problem since the tape does not easily bend around corners. Information stored in hard copy format limited distribution or sharing of information.
Addressing Review Purpose: Developing, maintaining and enforcing roadway naming and addressing standards is for the best interest of public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens and inhabitants of Hernando County. Responsibility: The responsibility of the addressing department is to function with the Sheriff s Office (E-911), US Post Office and other city and county government organizations to accomplish all addressing requirements.

3001 System Design Establish Requirements Point Data Creation Legacy Data Migration Database Design Addressing Standards Structure > Segment Assignment Establish Line Directionality Creating Ranges
Required Spatial Link Parcel Identifier (PID) We use the PID as our spatial link. Many government agencies currently store address information with the PID provided by the Property Appraiser. (Single Family Home) (Condo, Duplex, Multi-Addressed Structure, Etc.)
Point Data Creation Parcel Centroids! Points generated will inherit the PID attribute from the parcel-base map Building Footprint Centroids! Increased spatial accuracy! Conflation of PID from the parcel-base map to the points (intersect)
Legacy Data Preparation Review how the current address data is stored! Single Address Field! Multiple Fields Creating The Address Example: Location 1234 N. Main St. vs House Number 1234 Prefix N. Street Name Main Street Type St.
Multiple Location Fields Why We Chose this Format?! Simple - We find it is easier to merge multiple fields rather than to separate a single field.! We can also put our expensive Relational Data Base Management System (RDBMS) to work and make the most of it s capabilities.! Establish Database Diagram
Street Name Analysis Before the point data is merged to the street names a clean up is conducted. A master street name index was obtained through the local post office. Using the master index, the street names in the address data are matched to the street names in the centerline data.
Final Data Merge Utilizing the PID field for the relationship, a unique ID is created for each structure and related to its corresponding addressing data. (Single Family Home) (Condo, Duplex, Multi-Addressed Structure, Etc.)

The Prefix, Suffix, and Type fields are verified against USPS standards to ensure that data can be converted to a standardized format.! Example: Alley, Ally, Aly, etc. are all standardized to Aly

Why Is Line Directionality Important? It defines the left and the right side of the roadway. It minimizes address number conflicts by establishing even number and odd number addressing. In an emergency response having defined addresses reduces the possibility of any confusions.
NENA Standard National Emergency Number Association (NENA), established in 1982 as a non-profit corporation in order to further the goal of One Nation One Number. The protection of human life, the preservation of property, and the maintenance of general community security are among NENA s objectives.
Frontage Interval Methodology A specified incremental distance determines possible new addresses.! i.e. interval 5.28 Provides 2,000 (1,000 per side) addresses for every one mile of road frontage. This example will allow for up to 287 address for a segment
